p90x Week 5 Weight loss results

The past 2 weeks have been tough..week four was a recovery week and I got really out of the habit of trianig. I was tired and used that as a mental excuse for NOT doing the DVDs.  While it may be OK physically, getting out of hte routine habit really set me back for this week.

I did 2 workouts this week, but have been really foolowing the diet. Feeling pretty good but I notice a difference when I'm exercising less.

Here are this week's measurements & weights and thoughts

Day 35/90
Weight 146.6 (Lost 7.8 lbs )
Chest: 37"  
Hips 40" 
Thighs 22" (left) 22.5" (right)
Waist:  29.5"(yeah)


And the bodyfat summary from
http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html

Body Mass Index:	26.0  kg/m2
Waist-to-Height ratio:	0.47
Percent Body Fat:	30.9%
Lean Body Mass:	101.3 lb

Total weight loss 7.8 lbs
Body fat starting: 37.7% (OMG!)
Lean Body mass starting: 95.7 lbs

Current body fat: 30.9%  (Awesome!)
Current lean body mass: 101.3

Which means that I have gained 5.6 lbs of muscle mass, and lost 13.4  lbs of Fat!

At my goal weight of 135lbs, maintaining 101.3 lbs of lean body weight, my BF% would be  25%.  That sounds pretty nice!  

At a BF% of 20% maintaining current lean body mass, my weight would be...  127lbs.  That's sounding more realistic than last week's weight of 120lbs for 20% BF.

it's pretty cool to see how losing weight and defining yourself by your BF %age requires addition of muscle mass and not just loss of fat.  Loss of fat alone would be difficult without adding muscle mass due to the increased difficulty burning calories.

While I realzie that these numbers are not 100% accurate...the trend is clearly there!! 

I'm really excited about the BF% getting down to 30.9%!!!
